About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like quirky, debate-sparking documentaries that jump between topics and big claims, similar to POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold or Jesus Camp; Not for you if you want a single focused story or rigorous deep-dive evidence.
Pros: entertaining, idea-packed segments; thought-provoking questions; accessible explanations | Cons: disjointed, meandering structure; light on data; some claims feel shaky
